DVD Reviews of The Doris Day Show - Season 5
DVD Review: Wholesome Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a child growing up with tv in the 70's, i had my fill of 'Partridge Family' & 'Brady Bunch' type programming by the time i was able to appreciate Ms. Day's show, which was aired at a time when for me it was bedtime.
Airing on Monday nights i believe after 'Here's Lucy', I remember watching a few episodes before the show vanished, and was never to be seen again for years.
Here, I am reviewing the last set of episodes created, as i own all previous 4 seasons. I was amazed on how the show changed formats virtually every season for the first 3 years before settling on a format that worked for the remaining 2 seasons. I never did care for 'canned' laughter, but i didn't mind it here, as it was, and is, a joy to see one of the worlds most 'appealing' human beings to grace our path with her tv show.
The show boasts many cameo appearances from legends of tv, stage and screen. But she doesn't depend on them to make the show funny. Doris was a natural to acting, and here she is showcased for 5 seasons.
A must have for those who like good, clean comedy.
DVD Review: A Nostalgic Look Back at the 1970's
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to watch Doris' show with my Mother back in the 1970's. We LOVED it! And I'm so delighted it is available on DVD, since it never did appear on the nostalgia channels on cable. The picture quality is clear, colorful and bright, much like the lady herself. Doris had been forced to do this series in order to pay off debts incurred by her late husband and his crooked lawyer, but you've never believe it, watching Doris on screen, as funny and endearing as ever. Her show is light and fun, easily suitable for young viewers as well. My favorite episodes are the fashion show ones, because that's a trip down memory lane with all those colorful 1970s fashions. This is the last season she did before calling it quits in Hollywood (aside from a couple of specials) and focusing her attention on animal causes. I'll have to admit that Season 5 is not my favorite season; my faves are Seasons 1,2, and 3. Still, there's enough great stuff in Season 5 to merit buying this--I recommend you buy all 5 seasons.DVD Review: Fair viewing

I'm a Doris Day fan, but not for this. The first two seasons are good. She is living on a farm with her two sons and father. Then she moves to the city, the family dissappears, and the rest of the shows are about how everyone falls in love with her, and her trendy modern wardrobe. DVD Review: The Doris Day Show all Seasons
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a refreshing trip to a happier day with the Very Cutiness of miss Day. It was a great love affair for a young boys crush on a Lovely blond lady but didn't know why...LOL..DVD Review: 1972-73 season
Summary: 4 Stars
I have purchased all 5 yrs of the Doris Day show. I've watched half of this season and it's a big improvement over the 4th season. The 4th season was terrible and I'm surprised it was renewed for a 5th. Doris seems to have gotten used to the show's format. It changed so many times in it's run. I would recommend buying seasons 2,1,5,3,4 in that order. I never watched this show during it's original run, since I was only a baby. I'm not a big fan of Doris' but this is a good family show, even if it's a little boring sometimes. It's definitly not as good as "Mary Tyler Moore show", but maybe as good as "That girl". They should have kept Rosie Marie in the cast, she left after season 3 and the supporting players are nothing special in this show. It's definitely all about Doris Day. So if you like her, you should love this show.
Description of The Doris Day Show - Season 5
After ranking as the world s top female motion picture star and achieving dozens of hit records, Doris Day also conquered television with this happy situation comedy on CBS-TV from 1968-1973.The fifth and final year of THE DORIS DAY sees Doris Martin (Day) continuing as a reporter for Today s World magazine, working with editor Cy Bennett (John Dehner) and secretary Jackie Parker (Jackie Joseph). Doris finds her love life heating up with both Dr. Peter Lawrence (Peter Lawford) and political candidate Jonathan Rusk (Patrick O Neal) while her home life is never dull thanks to her fussy landlord Mr. Jarvis (Billy DeWolfe). Among the guest stars who appear are Andy Griffith, Lee Meriwether, Ed Begley Jr., Julie Adams, Dick Van Patten, Sid Melton, Edward Andrews, Henry Jones and Bernie Kopell.
THE DORIS DAY SHOW SEASON 5 contains all 24 remastered episodes from the 1972-73 season, plus a wealth of rare and new bonus features.
Film, television, and singing star Doris Day is famous for her cheerful optimism and her audience appeal and both are readily apparent in this final 1972-1973 season of her television sit-com The Doris Day Show. A modern widow employed as an editor at the "Today's World Magazine" and seriously involved first with Dr. Peter Lawrence (Peter Lawford) and later Jonathan Rusk (Patrick O'Neal), Doris Day (Doris Martin) is a spunky middle-aged woman with a flair for getting great stories from her interviews and ending up in the middle of sticky situations. Season 5 opens with Doris' stingy and ever-meddling boss Cy Bennett (John Dehner) urging Doris and Peter to get married following years of serious courting in "No More Advice, Please," but neither Doris nor Peter sees any need to change what seems to them to be a perfect situation. Tenacious and willing to go to great lengths to get a great story, Doris' fakes an injury to interview a notorious thief in "Jimmy the Gent" and pretends to be an actress in "The Hoax." Doris' compassion for others repeatedly lands her in all sorts of crazy situations from pet-sitting a Syndicate head's dog in "Follow the Dog" to putting on an elaborate fashion show to raise money for Peter's hospital in "Hospital Benefit," endangering her job and apartment to care for a stray dog in "It's a Dog's Life," compromising her integrity by ghost writing for a fellow colleague, and risking arrest in order to save her uncle from a forgery conviction in ""The Magnificent Fraud." Romance and jealousy are regular themes as is Doris' dedication to her job and her friends, Cy's stinginess and propensity for taking credit for the actions and ideas of others, and Doris' innate goodness. A huge cast of guest stars appearing in the 24-episode season include Andy Griffith, Lee Meriwether, Ed Begley Jr., Julie Adams, Dick Van Patten, Sid Melton, Edward Andrews, Henry Jones, and Bernie Kopell. Special features include commentary by Doris Day and producer Jim Pierson for "Hospital Benefit" and "It's A Dog's Life," the French Doris Comedie (a French version of "Follow the Dog"), outtake footage, and vintage and new footage of Doris' many humanitarian projects. --Tami Horiuchi
